CHOPPER!! CHOPPER!! CHOPPER!! :D

And yet they only get Chopper quite a bit into the Grand Line.

Actually, Choppers only on the third island or something close. That's not that far

Might not seem that far story-wise, but they still have to go through Loguetown, Reverse Mountain/Laboon, Whiskey Peak, and Little Garden. If we said those four would take as long as the first four islands, Chopper might arrive within ~250 pages. More realistically, I think we're looking at closer to 500, using some of the slightly longer arcs as guidelines.

Still though, A-quadruple-plus for having made it this far, DT

Don't forget that filler arc with the Whisper Whisper girl.

Don't forget that filler arc with the Whisper Whisper girl. And a couple more movies.

Hey DT, I know you did the first OVA (Devil's Tower), but will you be doing the mini-features that accompanied the movies?

I'm mainly asking because of Jango. I haven't had enough Jango dancing in my life, lol

Eh... Maybe. Don't really have any ideas for those ones, though.

DT, are you going to include every storyline, or are you going to skip less important ones?

I'm going to try and include as much as I can. If I can't think of a way to use the less important ones, then I might skip it or have it mentioned as a one-off punchline or something like that.

I want to see a Baron Omatsuri arc!

NO, no, a thousand times no! If there is any, ANY characters DT should skip over, it would be that gods forsaken flower. I hate carnation lily with a passion hotter than a million stars. I admire you DT, and I love your work, but I honestly do not think you could make that terrifying abomination of an arc any less horrifying. Honestly, I don't think even DM(or was it GM?) would have created a monster like carnation lily back in her party-kill days.

I dunno, I kinda liked Lily. It's not so much that Lily was overpowered as it was that she decided to attack from out of his reach. Her attacks wouldn't have worked against a level 3 sorcerer. As a matter of fact, even a level 1 character could've blocked all of her attacks at least 1/day with the right feat (as funny as it is).
The best part about that arc was that Luffy got called out for being a retard: All of this could've been avoided if he'd paid more attention, but he didn't. Obviously, the movie couldn't go through with killing him, as much as he deserved it, but it's still the best one piece movie IMHO.
